Sorry to be blunt, but that's silly. If you need a special-purpose "character" (a code-sequence, to be more precise) for use within your specialised application, use one of FDD0..FDEF, FFFE, FFFF, 1FFFE, 1FFFF, 2FFFE... 10FFFE, 10FFFF. They are non-characters available for exactly this use. If you need real character sequences for markup, there's this thing called XML. Perhaps you've heard of it. It's worth taking a look at; I think it really might catch on some day. >Also, I have noticed that in the document U02D0.pdf that U+20E4 is shown, in >the listing, in magenta whereas U+20DF is shown in black.

I believe the answer is stated within that document. You're on the right track, but I'd still encourage you to read the document. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
